Is a PhD candidate at the BioTis Laboratory (INSERM U1026) and a member of the ART BioPrint team at the University of Bordeaux, specializing in tissue engineering and cancer biology. He has recognized expertise in 3D bioprinting, tumor microenvironment modeling, and pancreatic cancer initiation. His research bridges biofabrication, cell biology, and multi-omics analysis, focusing on innovative strategies to recreate tumor complexity in vitro by addressing challenges such as stromal activation, cell–cell interactions, and microvascularization. Aurélien develops advanced 3D co-culture systems, high-throughput bioprinting protocols (inkjet, laser-assisted, microextrusion), and custom hydrogels with tunable mechanical properties, while implementing robust imaging and -omics data analysis pipelines. Involved in national and international collaborations, he contributes to the design of multicellular, high-fidelity models for mechanistic and translational oncology studies, and participates in bioink development and bioprinting optimization. Recognized with multiple scientific awards, he combines multidisciplinary research and technological innovation to advance cancer modeling and functional tissue engineering.
